Identity in Christ, 74

~ I Have Direct Access To God ~

Introduction~When Christians understand the various
characteristics and aspects of the birthright which came with their second
birth, they comprehend their identity
in Christ.Once Christians understand
their identity, their destiny is also
clear!This series of “Abundant Life
Now” posts will look at one of those facets each week.

This Week’s Verse~“For
He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle
wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law
of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man
from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God
in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.And He came and preached peace to you who
were afar off and to those who were near.For through Him [Jesus Christ] we
both have access by one Spirit to the Father” (Ephesians
2:14-18).
